lyrics

She walked into the room
Suddenly I felt fat
It only took her one look
To see where I was at

It don't hurt me anymore
Don't 'cha know I'm just a ghost?
I died a long time ago
I just wanted a dose of love

But it's over
The dream is over
And now I walk the lonely road back home
Sitting by myself and all alone

Maybe if I had stayed just a little bit longer
But when she smiled at me I just had to run and hide
She's so attractive I can't help but look at her
She appears like a vision
When she exits it's a nightmare

But it's over
The dream is over
And now I walk the lonely road back home
Sitting by myself and all alone

I could try to find another
But I really had my heart set on you
Don't tell me the dream is over
I live in a dream

I thought there was something there
I really thought that you cared
But I guess that you simply changed your mind

But it's over
The dream is over
And now I walk the lonely road back home
Sitting by myself and all alone
